James Blake‘s album dropped last week, and it’s hit us all. 17 tracks of, well, Jame Blake, ’nuff said. Today came a beautifully hypnotic visual to one of my favourite tracks on the record. Two of the worlds heavy weight harrowing vocals join up to create a piece of melancholy mystery. The video is gorgeous, … More James Blake – I Need A Forest Fire (ft. Bon Iver)
Aaron is a dream pop singer from London. Her latest release Easy, an ethereal piece of music; spacey funk guitars, downtempo drums and pretty vocals. With 12.5K Soundcloud streams this month, there is definitely a reason why people are listening – me included! Her earlier releases Strong and Kids are also sure fire pop bangers. Nice … More Aaron – Easy
Zircon Caves is yet another example of how Sam Gellaitry is some sort of wizard. He layers samples on samples, synths on synths with grooving hip-hop/trap beats that get us mere mortals bobbing along. This track is like a musical shoutout to analog gamers of the 90s and early noughties. Buy Sam’s latest EP ‘Escapism’ … More Sam Gellaitry – Zircon Caves
All Good is one of those Hip-Hop classics, that even if you don’t ‘know’ it, you sure as hell ‘know’ it. LeMarquis is a french producer who brings funky vibes to every tune he touches. This remix with Marlin is one of the best I heard in a while! Big slapped bassline with groovy synths … More De La Soul Ft. Chaka Khan – All Good (LeMarquis & Marlin Remix)
Another release from Rezzett via The Trilogy Tapes. ‘Hey Hugo’ is a nice mix of up-tempo drums, scatty hi-hats, wavy synths and ‘hey’ samples. He’s released a couple of tracks this month starting with ‘Zik Zak‘ a Burial-esq dark electronic tune, and his remix of Omar Souleyman’s ‘Heli Yuweli‘. ‘Hey Hugo’ is out on 12th … More Rezzett – Hey Hugo
Oophh! So this just dropped! Have a listen to this big bassy dance-floor filler from Malaa and it’s out on free-download. This is one has definitely been playlisted for the next shindig.
I have very quickly become a fan of O Mer – an electronic artist hailing from Brooklyn, with roots in Tel Aviv. His music style is really unique; an awesome combination of vocal layering with rising synths, middle eastern guitar licks and poignant melodies. These positives are all highlighted in his single ‘Now I’m Alive’. … More O Mer – Now I’m Alive
